I just checked, and the only "Studio One" episodes to be under copyright are "The Lady died at midnight" and "The Defender", The rest are PD. When I'm up to it (Which could be today or next week for all I know), I'll upload some more episodes of "Dusty's Trail", a 70's sitcom which has entered the public domain. It isn't great, But it's watchable.

I remember Dusty's Trail when it was originally on. It wasn't too bad! Can't wait to see it again, what with the episodes already up here and more on the way! Thanks for that, too!

I've uploaded another episode of "Dusty's Trail" about an hour ago, it should appear soon. BTW, Some other One Season Wonders which I've uploaded include "Meet Corliss Archer" and "The Dennis O'Keefe Show". I'm thinking of uploading 4 episodes of "The Betty Hutton Show" and 4 episodes of "The Eve Arden Show". I'm feeling better already, but I might feel sick again tomorrow (It's an comes-and-goes thing, sometimes lasting just an hour and sometimes lasting a whole day. I think it's because of the Medication I take. I have OCD and Autism, and I think I might have other disorders too).

I've always liked her in both the radio and TV versions of Our Miss Brooks as well as The Mothers In-Law, so yeah....I'd like to see her little-known late 1950s sitcom! It co-starred Frances Bavier, who later played Aunt Bee on The Andy Griffith Shwo and also announcer / actor Bill Goodwin in one of his last roles.

The show is a bit forgottable, But it isn't too bad. I think the reason it failed is because people couldn't accpet her playing a famous book writer. I'll try to upload an episode within the next few days.

The show didn't fail because Eve played a writer. All of her characters on TV were intelligent, so playing an author was totally acceptable. I'm not sure what her competition on the other two networks was, but The Eve Arden Show must have been cancelled due to low ratings.

It competed against "The Eddie Fisher Show/The George Gobel Show" on NBC and "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp" on ABC. I think the reason it was cancelled is because it's writing is fairly weak.

It got cancelled because it was beaten in the ratings by its competition.
Wyatt Earp was one of the most popular shows on ABC at the time, and it ran to 1961.

Sorry, But "The Eve Arden Show" has pretty sloppy writing. The bad time slot was just the nail on the coffin.
